Good evening all,
I've been asked to help a friend make a pair of Elizabethan trunkhose (aka punpkin pants) and they have requested plain single layer trunkhose but all the extant examples of single layer (instead of panes with the lining pulled out through the slashes) in Patterns of Fashion are post 1600. So far I've not been able to find a pictorial or extant example of pre 1600 plain trunkhose (despite the number of examples I see in this style in modern costuming) I'm not going to actually make a pair of paned trunkhose (as this plus a doublet have to be complete by Easter) but I would like to know whether it is period or a reenactorism. Any leads on period examples of non paned trunkhose would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Elizabeth _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
